Perhaps you are correct, but what if it turns out that Maharishi was right afterall, and the exact manner in which TM is taught is important?

Everyone likes celeb's, look at what the Beatles did for the TMO, now they've got Russell Brand, how can they fail! On the other hand, why should we or anyone else *believe* these stories about the numbers of people learning TM? It's NOT as if they have a track record for telling the truth. What I was thinking too. What if there are only 3 TM teachers in NYC? Teaching people beej mantras doesn't take much. Other organizations teach meditation at far less a price and it probably didn't cost the teacher $16K to learn. At best maybe $5K and at that they learn far more than a TM teacher learns and can give more powerful techniques. "Seven Steps" is a child of mid 20th century. You don't need that nowadays. A weekend session would suffice, which is what other organizations often do.
